A railing and door treatment I did for the Pine Lodge Inn, located in Port Sydney ON.

Aluminum Sculpture



Annie Veitch (another talented Muskoka artist), and I worked on this commissioned piece together. Made from aluminum, with copper accents, It stands over 6' tall. It will eventually sit on a piece of granite and be lit from the base.

Spark Plug Lamp


I've made some changes to the spark plug lamp. It could be used as either a pendant light or a small table lamp. Look for it Etsy.com shortly.

Hanging Propeler Lamp



A hanging pendant light I assembled from a damaged prop and a safety 
cage from a movie set. The prop comes from the same motor as the original Skeg lamp. It's my goal to use as many piece's from the motor as possible. Look for the carb wall sconces shortly.

Copper Lily Pads

Hand hammered copper lily pad samples for a set of fireplace surrounds.

The Genius of Design

If you get a chance, there is a five part  mini-series from the BBC called the Genius of Design. If you have ever wondered about the processes and history  of design I highly recommend this series. It covers everything from the arts and crafts movement, Tiger tank, to why your Bauhaus Chair is so uncomfortable.
